firefox 28 and web filtering

Anyone aware of any issue with FF 28 and the web filtering on 9.109-1?

If I enable web-filtering theres a whole slew of Google related site that just hang, which also includes the adwords etc sites, so many site just plain dont work?
If I use Chrome everything's hunky dory..

I think it's more ff28 doesn't like being forced to google safesearch...since ff relies almost solely on google for their income this limits their search results and therefore their potential income..[:)]

I was searching the problem with Firefox 28 since yesterday and finally found the explanation here, thanks!

Deactivating Google SafeSearch solved this problem.
